A Monkey and Twin Turtles

Tiara Ristyana - A Monkey and Twin Turtles

In the middle of the jungle, there were a group of animals such as monkey, goat, dog, rabbit, and twin turtles. They were talking about their stories to each other, while they ate many kinds of fruits that twin turtles brought. After they talked about their stories, they went home but twin turtles whose name are (Boy and Bey) and monkey were still there. Monkey approached the turtle Boy and he said “Boy, there is a party in Cherry Village. I want you to come with me. You want it?” “Yes of course I want it Monkey” said Turtle Boy. “But I only invite you to come to the party, I don’t invite your brother and I want you to bring a lot of fruits for our stock if we get hungry” “Hmm okay, I agree I will not tell my brother.”Arrived home, Turtle Bey slept and Turtle Boy packed the fruits for their journey. Suddenly, Turtle Bey woke up and asked his brother for what he packed a lot of fruits. At first, Turtle Boy did not want to admit it but finally he said the truth that there was a party and Monkey didn’t invite you to come together with us and turtle Bey allowed his brother to go.

Turtle Boy and Monkey went to the party. In the middle their way, Monkey tired and asked Turtle Boy to take a rest under the tree. “Uh I’m so tired Boy, do you feel the same?” “Yea, me too” said Turtle. “Let’s open your bag, I want to eat banana!!” said Monkey with an excited feeling. “No, don’t! This is for our stock. We are still far from the Cherry Village, so it’s better for us to keep it first.” Turtle Boy little bit mad with Monkey. “Okay.” said Monkey. After that, they continued their way. Monkey thought that he must think about how he could get the fruits.

Finally, he got an idea. He will arrange the strategy. He left the turtle Boy and he made a trap there. He made a hole which covered by the leaves in order to make Turtle Boy fell down into the hole but there was someone who knew his strategy. Monkey came back to the Turtle Boy.When they passed the road and Turtle Boy stepped on the hole, apparently he didn’t fall into the hole. “How can he did not fell into the hole?” he said that in his heart with the high tone. Then Monkey confused why he did not fall into the hole. And then, he forgot about that thing and he rearranged the strategy “I have to make him fall into my second trap no matter what!” He swings on the rope with the hope that he could get the fruits from the Turtle’s bag. Then again, someone looked what Monkey did. He rushed to shift the tree, so when the Monkey swinging, he will hit the tree.

The strategy was successful, Monkey hit the tree and he failed to steel the fruits from the Turtle’s bag. After they passed a long way, they arrived to Cherry Village. In there, they were separated. Turtle Boy was put into the cage by someone. Then Monkey came to acquitted Turtle Boy out from the cage but with one requirement “I will acquitted you out from the cage and you can meet your brother but you have to give me all your fruits. How’s that?” asked Monkey, “Okay I agree” said Turtle “Thank you Turtle. You are a good friend”. They already had changed the position and Turtle left the Monkey to meet his brother. Actually, this cage was a tool for the animal that will be cooked after party was over. While Monkey was in the cage, Turtle went home to meet and tell everything to his brother. His brother said that actually someone who helped him when Monkey wanted to trap him. “I was there when Monkey wanted to trap you. He wanted the fruits.” Turtle Bey explained it explicitly. “I didn’t think that he was a friend who crafty and greedy. He was a friend who has thousand ideas to get anything that he wants.” said Turtle Boy clearly.
